Why/when did I start using Linux?
I’m glad I previously documented this, so I repeat it here. All the below scans are from my actual books and CD’s. I didn’t start out wanting to learn Linux, I hadn’t even heard about Linux in the early 1990s. Coming from a DEC PDP-11/70 of course I heard of Unix, but not Linux. Around …

AT&T internet slow again
Back to the low 90 Mbps. At least the tech was polite. Said he’d send out a new modem. Their SmartHome Manager phone app said my modem was getting 390+ up&down.
